My 5 Winter Essentials

Written by 

I’m not a huge fan of winter, and by ‘not a huge fan’ I mean I hate it. If it weren’t for these little wintery indulgences I may not even make it through this good-for-nuttin’ seaon.

One | Cashmere

Wool’s posher, fancier cousin cashmere gets invited to all the cool parties and hangs out with all the right peeps. And come winter, I become cashmere’s #1 groupie. Just when I thought I couldn’t love cashmere any more one of my fave brands ever, Equipment, brings out their very own range of cashmere goodies, and in rad neon shades to boot.

Two | Rosehip Oil

When the cooler months roll in I switch up my beauty routine from light summery products to rich prodz like face oils. I’m always cold. Always. So needless to say thanks to my go-to winter position (5mm away from any heater I can find) strips my normally oily skin of any moisture. I reboot my skin with Rosehip Oil and my fave is this certified organic oil from Sukin. One because it’s ace, and two because it’s damn inexpensive.

Three | Leather

I could probably write 234 individual blogs about how much I love these Paige leather leggings. The relationship I have formed with them is bordering on indecent. But seriously, the best things I have ever purchased. Best. Thing.

Four | The Perfect Boot

My perfect winter boots aren't quite flat and aren't sky-high, they're flirting in between somewhere. Extra points for waterproof patent.

Five | Neon Jewellery 

Stuck in a black and charcoal rut this winter? Break out! Ideally with anything neon. I recently discovered Etsy store, Almost Done, and I'm smitten.
